Background

Tyrosine kinases are either receptor molecules, which contain transmembrane and extracellular domains, or nonreceptor proteins, which are located intracellularly. One family of nonreceptor TKs includes the genes TEC, TXK, ITK, and BTK. All of these proteins are homologs of the Drosophila Src28 TK and contain an SH3 and SH2 domain upstream of the TK domain.[supplied by OMIM]Synonyms: Bone marrow tyrosine kinase gene in chromosome X protein, Cytoplasmic tyrosine-protein kinase BMX, ETK, Epithelial and endothelial tyrosine kinase, NTK38
